Features of cultivation
The plant is grown by seedling method. Seeds for growing in garden plots are sold in small paper bags. Sowing of Novosibirsk Hit tomato planting material is carried out in such a way that 60 to 70 days pass before planting in a permanent place. Before planting directly into the soil, it is recommended:
- carry out sorting to exclude seeds with a defect;
- soak in a damp cloth soaked in a manganese solution for 20 minutes.
The seeds are sown in a container so that there is a distance of at least 3 cm between them to a depth of 2 cm. The container is covered with film, which can be removed after germination. When shoots reach 35 cm, have 10 leaves and a developed root system, seedlings can be planted in a permanent location.
Cultivation is carried out at an ambient temperature of 23-25 C0. The plant is demanding on lighting, so seedlings need sunlight at least 14-16 hours a day. Picking is carried out when 2 leaves appear.
When planting in permanent soil, it is recommended to 1 m2 plant 2 to 3 seedlings. Tomato loves bright places and does not tolerate drafts. The soil for planting should be light and fertile. A good yield indicator is achieved if cucumbers, onions, carrots, cabbage or zucchini were previously grown at the planting site.
The plant responds well to moderate watering and increased fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizer. The bush is formed into 1 or 2 stems with the obligatory garter of the trunks. The production of large fruits is facilitated by mechanical regulation of the number of brushes and tomatoes. To improve the establishment and health of the plant, the use of growth stimulants is recommended. Care consists of sufficient watering, fertilizing and regular removal of stepsons.
